Guys when you feed more than 15.5% doesnt your birds start to fly with a faster wing, lower altitude and less performance? I been testing this out and I have notice this with my birds. Do you continued using this % or only for a certain time.
I like using this on my young birds then I get them to Milo/Wheat when they they are at around 5 months old.

Each grain is a % and you can add and reduce the % by adding different kinds of mix grainds. You have to find out what % works the best with your birds.
The higher the % the better I think for young birds as they develop stronger. Ones they are at around 5-7 months you can play with there feed. Some birds if you give them low % will bounce and some have to be broken down to roll.
When you buy your pigeon food it has the % of each grain inside.

Currently feeding my breeders 16% w/corn. Once I go individual I will switch to 28% pellets. I just put my kit on a 12.5% mix - milo,wheat and peas. Hopefully I get good results, but still waiting.
